Volume 12 Chapter 9: How Could You Make Friends Like That?
"Keith, can you give me some tips about riding horses?" During knight class, the people from F-class students came up to him. Keith nodded, "Sure, I can help you with that. Hmm, for starters, Helm. What's the issue?"
“My horse keeps pulling back and refuses to get close to me.” Despite being partnered with his horse for quite some time, he couldn't make him listen as he would grunt and smack his face with his mane.
"Ngeh!" Helm's horse grunted as he pulled away from Helm's grasp, which caused the dwarf to hold him tighter. He couldn't help but sigh, "Come on. Don't move like that."
“Hmm, for starters, you should get a new rein for your horse.”
“Eh?” Helm tilted his head.
"This harness is a little on the looser side; it’s smacking the horse's eyes, so it's probably irritated.” Keith took the reins off, and that was more than enough as the horse started to nudge Keith. Instant change of reactions.
"Ahh, I see."
“Just be mindful. Remember, Instructor Tennol said that our horses are our partners. So we need to be more mindful of how they react and what they don't like." This was something he had learned with Michael's horse. Whenever he noticed an oddity with it, he would ask or search for the problem. That habit slowly resounded to Knight.
“Understood.” Helm started to rub the horse, who nudged him back, clearly happy and content with him. That was not the end for Keith, as more students approached him for help.
It took some time as he went to the two.
“Woah, you really got close to them in such a short time,” Jack blinked as he stared at them. He had been watching from the side.
“Hmm? But don’t you know a lot of people?” Actually, Jack was the person on the island who was popular and knew many people. Keith was at least third or fourth on the "who knows people the most" list. The person who spoke to other students so easily was this man here.
“That’s because I met people and got introduced to them as a kid. You just clicked with them instantly.” There was a difference between that. Most of Jack's friends came from his childhood. He had years of friendships. But for Keith, it was another story. He met these people only a few seconds before becoming friends. He did not have Keith's sociability skills.
"Indeed."
"You too, Krystal?!"
“Usually, F-class students and S-class students aren’t close.” It was a fundamental difference: One was royalty while the other was commoner. The difference in perspective would weigh on all of them.
“Well, I’m in F-class, so yeah!” Keith laughed.
“…” Not what we meant at all.
“This guy has always been good at getting along with many people.” “Indeed.”
The two nodded as they stared at the guy, who shrugged, “It wasn’t even all of that.” There wasn’t anything wrong with how he made friends. He was straightforward and quick to the point with all of them. He didn’t know too much about it, either.
“He could even make the coldest of people a friend," Krystal muttered. And she was one of these people as well. That was how he was.
"Let's go ride our horse. Ready Knight?"
"Ngeh!" Knight was prepared to go down!
After class, Keith headed to the library to do some studying. But as he headed over there, he noticed some people surrounding Sam. Hmm? Are they his friends? But as he stared at them closer, that was not the case. Keith called out, “Sam!”
The boy quickly turned his head over to him, “K-Keith?” And he wasn’t alone either, as the other three had also turned to look at him. Keith walked forward, “There’s no problem, right?”
“Y-yeah, there’s-“ “No problem at all!” The students didn’t even dare to get near him as they quickly ran away like there was nothing wrong. Keith grinned, “There better not be because if there is, heh.” He didn’t finish the sentence as they quickly backed away from him.
“You good?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Thank you, Keith.” Sam tried to bow, but Keith stopped him. “There is no need to do that. What are friends for.”
“…”
“Did I say something weird?”
“No, it’s just that you want to be friends with me?”
“Hmm? Aren’t we friends?” Keith laughed. He thought of Sam as his friend since he talked with him for quite some time. Sam nodded, “Mmhmm! We’re friends!”
“That’s good. If you have any problems that come your way, please tell me.” Keith waved his hand as he headed to the library, easily and without a thought. As he looked around,
What’s going on? He noticed there was a gaze behind him. And that alone was enough to cause Keith to laugh. That was when he quickly said before him, “Muriel, you really don’t need to hide from me. Actually, you’re bad at hiding.”
